Culture and sights

• The Großenheerser Windmühle has an octagonal mill tower, which is made of bricks and fully plastered. The Wall-Holländers from 1863 with its corner pilasters reaching under the mill hood is a unique design in the Westphalian Mill Road area . The sail wings and the stert have never been modernized. In the 1990s there was a concept to define this mill as a technical training mill for the other mills in order to teach the local, mostly volunteer staff, the craft of windmilling. The concept has not yet been implemented.

• In 1997 the group "Gro (w) Art" - art in the pigsty in Petershagen-Großenheerse - was formed
